A prestigious global financial services firm is looking for a dedicated Receptionist / Office Coordinator to join their London office on a temp-to-perm basis.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with around a year of corporate experience who’s ready to take the next step in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. The firm is looking for someone with a strong work ethic, excellent attention to detail, and a consistently positive, professional attitude.

What you'll do: 

As the first point of contact for clients, guests, and colleagues, you’ll play a vital role in ensuring the office runs smoothly and efficiently. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Managing reception duties, including calls, visitors, deliveries, and post
  • Coordinating meeting room bookings and maintaining a professional front-of-house area
  • Organising food, beverage, and catering arrangements for meetings and events
  • Supporting visiting employees with access, desk allocation, and logistics
  • Monitoring office supplies and placing orders as needed
  • Assisting with internal events and day-to-day office management tasks
  • Handling ad-hoc administrative requests with accuracy and care

Who you are: 

You’ll be someone who thrives in a professional environment and understands the importance of precision and presentation. You take pride in doing things properly, and you’re always one step ahead.

  • A proactive, can-do attitude and strong sense of responsibility
  • Excellent organisational and multitasking skills
  • High attention to detail and accuracy in every task
  • Clear, confident communication skills – both verbal and written
  • A professional, courteous manner with colleagues and visitors alike
  • A strong work ethic and willingness to help wherever needed
  • Experience in a corporate or financial services environment is preferred, and familiarity with G Suite would be an advantage.

Benefits:  

  • Generous paid time off policies
  • Savings plans and other financial wellness tools 
  • Free breakfast, lunch, and snacks daily
  • In-office wellness experiences and reimbursement for select wellness expenses (e.g., gym, personal training and more)
  • Company-sponsored sports teams and fitness events 
  • Volunteer opportunities and charitable giving
  • Social events, happy hours, treats, and celebrations throughout the year
  • Workshops and continuous learning opportunities
